Providence Projects

Providence Projects is dedicated to addressing a range of addictions (including ketamine addiction) and co-occurring mental health conditions with compassion and expertise. Their personalised treatment plans are designed to meet the unique needs of each individual, ensuring the best possible chance for long-term recovery. Their affordable residential rehab begins with a stay of 28 days, providing a solid foundation, with the option to extend treatment and complete secondary care. Providence Projects—fondly referred to as “The Provy”—is situated just east of Bournemouth and a few hundred yards from 7 miles of golden sandy beaches. They have helped over 10,000 clients with recovery since their doors opened in 1996.

Get Tailored Therapies for Recovery & Overall Well-Being

Treatment is designed to address the underlying issues of addiction and to help clients develop strategies and tools to remain sober. Clients are each assigned a personal therapist throughout their stay, who will be responsible for overseeing and coordinating the treatment plan, and ensuring needs are met. When detox is necessary, experienced staff provide 24/7 medical support. After detox, clients' physical health remains a top priority, with particular attention given to addressing memory loss and cognitive impairment often associated with ketamine addiction. During primary treatment, clients engage in tailored individual and group therapy sessions that include therapeutic methods like cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) to help reshape negative thought patterns and motivational interviewing to boost their readiness for change. Holistic therapies such as mindfulness, meditation, and exercise are also incorporated to enhance overall well-being. There really is something for everyone from acupuncture to boxercise, workshops to assignments, 12-Step meetings to music therapy. At Providence Projects, they aim to ensure the treatment experience is not only successful but also enjoyable.

Easily Extend Treatment for Further Healing

Treatment for addiction can take time and many clients see moving on to Providence Projects’ second-stage programme as a natural progression. Clients can extend for an additional 2 to 8 weeks to explore and resolve complex issues that may have proved too much in the primary programme. Clients connect with a therapist to work through a set of agreed goals to continue to increase the chances of long-term recovery. These issues are of course different for each client but may include self-esteem, boundaries, relapse prevention, adverse childhood experiences, relationships, the 12-Steps, shame and guilt, thinking errors, shame and guilt, families and much more. There is also a focus on reintegration; clients will have the opportunity to work closely with their therapist, peer group and loved ones during this process and home visits may also be a key part of this transition.

Develop a Plan for Life Beyond Rehab

During the programme, clients work closely with their therapist, group, and possibly significant others to identify potential risks and difficulties that could arise when leaving rehab. An individualized plan will outline a range of coping strategies and exactly what each client will have in place to give the support and tools required. Aftercare plans may include 1:1 counselling, exercise and wellbeing regimes, work, family counselling, attendance at 12-Step groups, alternative therapies as well as some health hobbies and activities. Although clients will have their plan in place, all ex clients can call or pop in at any time to access further support or reconnect.

Feel at Home in an Active Seaside Town

The Provy is located in the popular seaside resort of Bournemouth, where clients can take frequent walks on some of the best beaches in Britain to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and connect with nature. There are also plenty of activities for all ages including surfing, sailing, fishing, golfing, horse riding, walking, cycling, water sports and much more. The town centre has a wide range of shops, restaurants, bars and cafes as well as theatres, cinemas and museums. Travel links to Bournemouth are available from London Heathrow Airport (LHR) which is approximately one hour’s drive away. Safe and discreet transportative services are available to bring clients directly to the facility. All clients are provided with their own room. The accommodation feels very much home away from home, and the house is equipped with Wi-Fi, flat screen television, and all required kitchenware and utensils.
